The Australia First Party National Conference of November 30 – December 1, 2013, adopted the following resolution. It is now given by the National Council as a key position statement of the Party.

 

Our Three Tiers for Civil Dissent

The experience of the Party shows that it continues to have difficulties with persons who may affiliate to it from time to time, but who wrongly conceive of it as yet another party built to contest elections and who reason that the current political system can be changed through elections and only through elections.

Such persons have been known to enter into an internal dispute with the party leadership and other members with the inevitable wastage of time and resources. It is usually the case that such persons have little awareness of the nature of the Australian political system and they seek to impose their limited views or prejudices upon the majority.

The political system in Australia is neither open for participation, nor pluralist, nor open to change by a vote that produces some sort of ‘parliamentary majority’ to permit a ‘government’ to legislate Australia out from its current status within the New World Order. It is a closed system where participation at its higher levels is only allowed upon agreement with its globalist and liberal ideology.

The present liberal-globalist system cannot be removed by a vote. It would refuse to be removed by a vote. It is too strong and too well-connected internally and externally to be removed by a vote.

The present system is a dictatorship of money exercised under the slogans of democracy and freedom. It is the property of a traitor class of power and wealth and is sustained by psychological manipulation via various forms of propaganda and through the liberal ideological hegemony exercised in all things in the daily lives of our people (in education, workplace and social rules, in law and so on) and ultimately by internal management of opposition, with the final sanction – violence. This group holds power and exercises it on its behalf and for the New World Order system from the outside and to which it is loyal.

Power does not lie in the parliament. Parliament is both a formal tool for the enactment of laws whose content is decided elsewhere and deception of the people. It is held by the system that it is the place to come and to change things freely. It is in one sense a lure to defuse popular challenge.

The parliament is but one institution of the state that owns the traitor class. Courts, gaols, intelligence groups, the military, media, the education system and the civil service and so forth are equal entities of the state.

At this point, the party rejects the notion that a challenge to the system can be mounted only through electioneering and through the (hopeful) election of representatives into the parliaments. In particular, the capture the national parliament either by a party that accepted its asserted-rationale as the ‘supreme’ body of the nation or even by a party that rejected this notion and which had applied the alternate methods advanced below, would not possess that party of actual power. Controlling one institution of the state does not confer power. To concentrate the resources of the party in acquiring control of one institution of the state would be consequently – a misapplication of limited means.

To remove what should be understood as a dictatorship, once voting is discounted, there remain two methods – violence or civil dissent.

The Party rejects violence.

Civil Dissent must be Mobilized

The political method of the Party is the Three-Tier Method.  This means the Party performs three operations simultaneously, each integrated into the other and inseparable. When summed together, they amount to Civil Dissent.

 

A.   The Party Contests Elections

The Party contests elections to assess the level of its support, to engage with people around local issues they understand but which serve to inculcate nationalist ideology and politics into their understanding, to develop its profile and its structure and it seeks to elect members to public office to utilise the benefits of office to further develop profile and structure and discredit the politics of the state.

The electoral contest demands a different type of campaign and candidate; the campaign serves a purpose not simply votes-collection and the candidate serves a cause and the people and if elected treats with contempt the ‘office’ to which one has been chosen – one serves the cause and the people alone.

 

B.   The Party Undertakes Community Action

Community action is the most fertile and the widest area of party activism. Community action may involve a local issue, the activities of a historical association, or a union, or a club, or corrupt politicians, the contention that allows the Party to intervene – to mobilize resistance, or win a victory, or to promote its profile. The Party relies upon its local knowledge and local contacts. It extends its influence into the community. It may use that influence to support the most fertile form of electoral action, Council campaigning.

Community action may also involve working as a social action group with disadvantaged people – homeless, pensioners, youth, unemployed – to serve the Australian people and to develop its roots amongst the people.

The Party may work as a lobby group or activist structure with farmers groups, or truckies, or labourers, all social strata challenged by the globalising system. It is in community struggle that the Party proves to its members and followers that it can win and it establishes the resources to mount challenges to the state power.

 

C.  The Party Pursues Ideological and Cultural Struggle

 

It clarifies its criticism of the system to provide the dissenting Australian with clarity of position and faith that a change can be made and a superior system takes the place of anti-national liberal globalism. The ideology defines Australia’s past and present and charts the path to an Australian Future of Identity, Independence and Freedom.

Connected to the development of an Australianist ideology, is the necessary defence of Australian heritage and identity and essential lifestyle at every point. The Party must be viewed in public as their best defence mechanism for heritage and identity and that the ideology arises from this need. Party campaigns and structures must be built to sustain its third tier of struggle.

The Party says that the correct application of the Three-Tier Method would ultimately produce, struggle upon struggle in deepening impact, a situation of mass civil dissent.

Dissent may be extended in stages to the civil uprising, the essentially legal if the socially messy and chaotic form, of political change.

By challenging every aspect of the system’s politics, at each point where the state exercises power, to weaken it, to disrupt it, to create a counter politics and in the final stages, a counter authority, must be our method. It is the hard road but the only road that builds the Party.

The Party is unique in Australia’s political history. Because the Party says that civil dissent is its model it is outside of the normal discourse and it recognizes that its enemies will resist it with greater energy. There is no other option.

The Party is not an electoral machine but strives to be a machine for change, an organized force waging a struggle not against supposedly rival parties but against a state machine and its agents.

The Party pledges to surmount all obstacles to win the victory.

 

The party in New South Wales is registered under the Local Government Act (1993) to contest Council elections.

Accordingly, the party created a general programme. This document is the basic starting point for Council campaigns in that State and has been used in the same way for campaigns in other States. It also guides the local branches of the party in defining their local struggles.

Councils Programme

This programme is put forward to the people, not to narrow the fight for political change to the activities of one party, but to broaden and deepen every aspect of independent politics at the Local

Government level. The party fights for the following principles and will support any candidate who espouses any of the following points.

To ensure the office of mayor and shire president becomes or remains open to direct popular election.

• To adopt Citizens’ Initiated Referenda (CIR) in every Local Government area, either by a decision of the relevant council or by persuasion at State Government level that it legislates for CIR for the whole State; and to encourage citizens to exercise their direct popular rights of the initiative.

• To support all independent candidates to achieve office when and where their beliefs are not inimical to those of Australian identity, independence and freedom.

• To protect, defend and promote public awareness of, in every Local Government area, all aspects of Australia’s Heritage as a European society with a unique national culture and tradition.

• To refuse all funding and support for those efforts of Federal and State governments that undermine Australia’s Heritage.

• To introduce binding contracts of service on all elected representatives.

• To sponsor the phased growth of local control over areas of government which directly impact upon the lives of the citizen, and where this may prove impossible by the dead weight of existent legislation, to organize the weight of local public opinion via popular mobilization to achieve this goal.

• To sponsor, particularly in country areas of the State, grassroots action committees.

These committees should become informal groupings of patriotic people and other concerned citizens, outside of the party, and answerable to local people.

Such committees should organize to transform their areas/towns into multicultural-free zones, to support every manifestation of Australian patriotism and heritage and every campaign in their defence; they could mobilize to ensure community control over local societies and associations and at the grassroots ensure the moral rearmament and re-enculturation of their fellow Australians.

Such committees could play a role in popular struggles to enforce the rights of farmers and workers against the interests of the banks and other authorities. In a counter-power struggle against dominant liberal-globalist ideology, such organs of popular initiative could lead the fight for CIR and subsequently formulate proposals for their communities.

The Electoral And Community Programme of The Australia First Party is published to encourage people’s action to secure Australian Identity, Independence and Freedom.

The programme shall be used to sharpen any social or local issue of community significance to mobilize Australians outside of major political parties and organisations, both for electoral and in community action.

The programme is based upon the Eight Core Policies of our party published here as an appendix. These Core Policies are a part of our articles of association and are general statements of principle. It is upon these Core Policies that the current programme is put forward to the Australian People.

As should be expected, this programme may be added to, and slightly modified, as political conditions develop.

Any Australia First Party representative elected to public office is pledged to advocate the Eight Core Policies and to advance the Electoral And Community Programme. All Australia First Party activists also advocate our policies and programme to their fellow Australians.

The Electoral And Community Programme addresses issues of both the present and the future. Our supporters must be told and our party says it openly and without reservation or fear, that our ultimate aim is to achieve such policy changes in the direction of our country that we would be required to constitute a government empowered to regain the National Sovereignty of the Australian Nation. Thence we would return political power, wealth and law, to the possession of the Australian People – and, as a consequence, remove from influence those assorted foreign connected elites who now constitute a traitor class.

Our party is a historical party. Yes, it is called forth by the chaos into which Australia is plunging and is charged with directing action and constructing policy to restore our sovereignty, our rights and our freedom; it fights today within the logic and structures of the current system, but it also knows that to free Australia and better the lives of our People, the party must embrace the principle of the historical great social Promise of Australia; a free land of free men and women enjoying the fruits of their labour and exercising their democratic power directly.

The goal and the idea set forth by the pioneers and founders and defenders of our land is a trust and our party struggles to actualize the Promise as the reward of all.

Australia First Party has the mantle of strength conferred of a historical mission. It tells us that the men and women who live for this mission are of the same mettle as those from our past. They will fight for the true cause of Australian Independence and they will surmount all obstacles – and win the victory!

National Council, Australia First Party, May 2012.

We Pledge to Implement These Policies

1. The Australian People demand that WE the people should be represented in the parliaments and councils by elected representatives of our choosing and that we not be the victims of cynical, corrupt, and foreign-loyal party machines which have the final approval of the selection of our representatives; all such representatives must be citizens of Australia only and swear their oath to Australia only.
